News from Haugesund

We try to go walking two or three times a week (it doesn't always work out that way though) and one of our favorite places is a five minute drive from our apartment. There is a lake called Eivendsvatn with a trail around it. We walk one mile out and one mile back. We have never made it all the way around the lake.
There is a large island just outside of Haugesund named Karmøy. On the west side of the island there are several white sandy beaches. This is one of them seen from the roadway. We were in dress up clothes, on our way to visit a less active member when we saw this beach so we didn't go all the way down to the beach. We were very much overdressed to be at a beach.
This is a small Statue of Liberty on the island of Karmøy. The reason it is here is because all of the copper that was used in making the real Statue of Liberty was mined just behind where I am standing to take this photo. The mine is now closed because the copper is gone. Sister Humphrey has now seen the Statue of Liberty in Haugesund, Toyko, Las Vegas and Centerville, UT. But she has yet to see the original statue in New York harbor. She asks, "What is wrong in this scenerio?"
Elder Humphrey doing a service project. The lady in the picture is Sister Ingebjørg Warvik, our Relief Society president. She is a widow, has a nice home in Hauge-
sund and a cottage overlooking a nearby fjord. Her children are all married and she needed help to paint some of the buildings at her cottage. We spent about four hours one day painting with her. There is a garage, a storage building (which we are painting here), and a gazebo on the property.
This is the view of the fjord from the front yard of Sister Warvik's cottage. Very spectacular.
